The Beverly Hills City Council weighed in on the future of the Hastain Trail, the popular Franklin Canyon hiking trail that became the subject of a contentious fight involving mega-developer Mohamed Hadid.
The trail, which abuts Beverly Hills on two sides, falls within the property lines of five of six lots owned by Hadid, on which he had planned for years to build a sprawling gated compound complete with three guard towers and a helipad. But after defaulting on loans and declaring bankruptcy, a bankruptcy court will decide on Sept. 1 whether to auction off all the properties together or to sell only two of the lots.
